Two killed as man arrested in Christmas market car attack

A driver rammed a car into a large crowd of revellers at a Christmas market in central Germany yesterday evening, killing at least two people and injuring more than 60 others before he was arrested, authorities said.

One of the dead was a young child, said Reiner Haseloff, premier of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The incident took place in Magdeburg, the state capital, 150km west of Berlin.

"It is a catastrophe for the city of Magdeburg, for the state and for Germany in general," Mr Haseloff said, adding that the death toll could rise given the severity of some of the injuries.
